Staff were bilingual which is nice as everyone is not fluent in English. It gave me the chance to practice my Spanish. If you don't practice you forget. Remember if you're a senior they give senior discounts on your order. Dining room closes at 10:00 pm but the drive thru is always an alternative. That chicken sandwich was so good I went around again and ordered another one! Well done Wendy's !! Dave Thomas would be proud of this restaurant. Paramus NJ 17 South. Employee Lucas was as kind and patient as he could be. For all these reasons this Wendy's is a five star experience!

Paramus 17 South Mar 7 2025…read more THE FOOD --------------- + Menu is like any other Wendy's you'll walk into (or order from online). No surprises on it. + Burgers, Fries, Nuggets, Baked Potato, Chili, Frosties - All are what you would expect from any Wendy's location. Never had a problem with any of the food quality here.

Our order was fulfilled very fast and ready upon arrival, as expected for a fast food restaurant.

No more old school exterior or interior here. + No observable cleanliness issues that were out of the ordinary for a Wendy's. + Large, private parking lot has ample parking spaces + Lots of other businesses nearby as this is a very busy section of Paramus. = Located right off of Route 17 South towards the northern end of Paramus. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS ------------------------------------- = Never got extremely busy, even during peak dinnertime. This is probably because there are so many Wendy's locations in the nearby area.

THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ Menu is like any other Shake Shack you'll walk into (or order from online). No surprises on it meaning you will experience some of the best and most consistent fast food you've everrrr had. + ShakeBurger - As good of a burger that you will find anyyyyywhere, fast food or not. Well-constructed, delicious patty and those Martin rolls are perfffffect. + SmokeShack - Same as the ShakeBurger, but with an extra patty and some bacon. Always my go to here. + ChickenShack - Definitely up there with some of the best chicken sandwiches you will have. Extra crispy breaded chicken, lettuce, pickles. + Chicken Bites - Teeny, tiny, but delicious popcorn chicken. + Cheese Fries - Those addictive crispy, crinkle-cut fries. Don't care if they are frozen or not because they are some of the best fast food fries you will have. + Shakes - Fresh and spun perfectly. A little thickness, but definitely not soupy. + Mac & Cheese - Creamy and hot. Good enough for the kids = good enough for me.

Employees here have been predominantly courteous, friendly and quick to service your requests. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Clean interior with plenty of tables and seats. + Always love that all locations offer free filtered water. + Plenty of parking spaces in the back and a few in the front. + Located right off of Route 17 South in the heart of Paramus. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Typical Shake Shack foot traffic - meaning it can get pretty busy. Customers come and go at random times, but, it never gets super duper crazy busy to the point you cannot find a seat.

After talking to Matt for 2 minutes you know that he's passionate about what he does and it certainly shows. He was willing to travel to Kingston NY for the event. They set up in the driveway, set up their tent and got down to the business of feeding 60 hungry people. Burgers, Hot Dogs, killer Chicken Nuggets, Onion Rings, Fries and Hot Pretzels- all served with the proper condiments and sauces. Everything was fresh, delicious and well received. At the end they cooked off enough food to feed 60 people all over again! We noshed all night and still had plenty of leftovers. I've eaten at the restaurant and it was very good but their handling of this party was over the top! I wouldn't hesitate to call in this squad again for any event that needs great food and hospitality.

THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ Menu is like any other Smashburger you'll walk into (or order from online). + Single All-American Smash - Solid fast food chain burger that is somewhere between the low-end fast food chains and higher end ones, like Shake Shack and Five Guys. ++++ Only $4.99 (as of September 2026) ++++ Very filling and a good size burger. + Truffle Mushroom Swiss - Absolutely one of the BEST fast food chain burgers I've ever had. The truffle is so strong....and soooooo addictively good. Burger is oily, but juicy and filling. + Brussel Sprouts Side - Surprisingly very good. Kind of strange to see brussel sprouts served here, but it's a side well worth ordering. Just wish there was more in an order. + Regular and Sweet Potato Fries Side - Good fries. A little crisp and a little softness. Can't complain. + Dark Cherry Chip Shake - Hand-spun, no artificial taste and as good of a shake as there is at any restaurant chain. Not super thick, but not liquidity either. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Employees are friendly enough here. Never had an issue with any of them. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Spacious and lots of tables and booths at this location. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Gets moderately busy during prime meal times, but never reaches even 50% capacity.

Somewhere around the late '10's, Smashburger was "falling off". Five Guys, Shake Shack, and a…read moreplethora of local businesses started jumping on the premium burger trend, leaving this pioneer-restaurant behind. My advice? Don't sleep on Smashburger. Somewhere around 2024-2025, they did a bit of introspection --- and have revamped much of their image: menu simplification, bolder brand identity, and ACTUAL value pricing on items. I remembering visiting Smashburger in the 2010's, and often my burgers and fries were drenched in grease. Not this time. Burgers are delicately assembled, and more or less look like the photo on their menus! In Paramus, I've only had positive interactions with the staff --- they have been helpful in ordering and recommending when I am indecisive. On top of that: don't sleep on their app! They have better "reward deals" than many other chain restaurants! I tried two items today: 1) Mexicali Big Dog ($7.99) - This is a "¼ pound 100% Angus beef hot dog, cheddar cheese sauce, grilled jalapeños, chopped bacon, crispy fried onions, fresh-sliced avocado, and Mexican crema on a butter-toasted Big Dog roll." IT SLAPS. All the flavors work together, and I traveled to work after picking it up --- 20 minutes later it still HIT. And oh my goodness that toasted roll, it just elevates the experience! 2) Double Jalapeno Crema Smash ($7.99) - If you're a fan of Tex-Mex and grilled jalapenos, this item is for you! The heat pairs well with the Crema in the burger, to offer you both a heat and cool effect. It is smoky, rich, and spicy in all the right ways! Definitely recommend --- and NOT SOGGY from any grease! (There is bacon in my photo --- I added that!) In any case --- Smashburger has made a wonderful comeback, and I wish more people knew about it!! Until then, I will be frequenting this location because it taste better (and is CHEAPER) than Shake Shack and Five Guys, and I will not take that back!

I have been driving past this diner for over a decade, finally got a chance to come here for a…read morebrunch with my family on a Saturday morning. There's parking all around the building. Surprisingly it wasn't super busy, so we got a booth right away. The interior was nice but appeared somewhat dated, one side with all the booths and tables on the other side. They had a bar section with some high chairs as well, but no one was there. I was pleasantly surprised to the menu was only 3 pages, not a whole booklet like some other diners. I ordered the New Yorker Omelette Feast that came with pastrami and corned beef wrapped around the egg, side of home fries and toasts. I liked the taste of this unique dish. Homefries were okay. The toast was good. My daughter got the mickey pancake which was pretty good as well. Our server did a decent job. Staff members were friendly all around. The check needs to be paid at the reception register and there's a 3% surcharge for using credit card. Overall we had a nice family brunch experience and I was relieved to finally dine at Tom Sawyer.

THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ Menu is like any other Popeyes you'll walk into (or order from online). No surprises on it. + Fried Chicken - Was also just like from any other Popeyes you'll walk into. Chicken was super hot, fresh, crispy with the same good ol' Louisiana seasoning. + Sides (Mashed Potatoes, Mac and Cheese, Cole Slaw) - All spot on and what you would expect from any Popeyes. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Quick, fried chicken was ready to go and order was fulfilled very fast, as expected for a fast food restaurant. Workers were definitely working hard during prime dining time. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Dated compared to other Popeyes locations as it hasn't been repainted with the new white exterior branding yet. The interior and exterior are still of the early 2000s orange. + Typical private parking lot, although spots in front are a little tighter because it's right off of the highway. + Located right on Route 17 North on the northern end of Paramus. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Typical Popeyes foot traffic. Customers come and go at random times, but never reaches capacity ever.
